[color=b5e6e2]‘It was… frightening, but also glorious, in such a weird way…’[/color] said a positively out-of-breath Vivia after that whole horse-ride. [color=b5e6e2]‘They really go fast, huh… and that whole massive plain was just their personal playground… whew, felt I could have been thrown off at any moment… but it was so… beautiful…’[/color] Vivia said, before she gazed to Skylar, and sort of realized he’d been unable to see it all, and proceeded to be a bit self-conscious for a bit. Thereafter, they went into Raremine Town, and Skylar soon pointed out that he’d recognized a voice.

[color=b5e6e2]‘Wait, really? Uuuh, there’s a lot of people. Let me check…’[/color] Vivia said, as she went over to peek over, before coming back. [color=b5e6e2]‘I think you’re right. She’s currently in a Backpacker’s outfit, though. She’s currently engaged in a Pokémon battle inside an arena of miners that are excitedly cheering them on… and she’s facing- wait, isn’t that one of Kalmia’s trainers?’[/color] Vivia asked, having a vague recollection of Dawkin’s appearance.

But, before that, they apparently had time to go to the Pokémon Center to heal and ask a couple questions.

[color=f59a95]‘Hello, and welcome to the Pokémon Center. Would you like to rest your Pokémon?’[/color]

Assumingly, yes.

[color=f59a95]‘Okay. I’ll take your Pokémon for a few seconds, then.’[/color]

She’d then accept the Pokéballs and put them into the machine, and…

[color=f59a95]‘Thank you for waiting. We’ve restored your Pokémon to full health.’[/color]

She says as she hands the Pokéballs back. She then bows to her customer and gives a friendly smile.

[color=f59a95]‘We hope to see you again!’[/color][/hider]

Some questions, then. Gym, fossil lab and whatever else is super important.

[color=lightsalmon]‘Oh, here to challenge gyms, are we? You’ll find there’s no Gym Building in Raremine Town. But, that doesn’t mean there’s no gym challenge. Go face the smaller exit into Route 7 to the left of the main one, you’ll find it marked “Gym”. Oh, and consider buying Go-Goggles at the shop for 1200 P. You may find yourself in need of them…’[/color] Then the guy took an extra look at Skylar. [color=lightsalmon]‘… Or maybe you’d do just fine, huh.’[/color] 

[color=darkorange]‘Oh, yeah, fossils! They show up every now and then from the Desert Mines we’re working in. The mines are primarily for metals, of course, but we find stones and fossils as well. The stones are traded to the Stone Store here in town, and the fossils are brought to the labs. There, they’re somehow able to bring the fossils back to life! How cool is that!? They’re also doing all other kinds of research, headed by Professor Dunstan himself. No idea about what else they’re researching, though.’[/color] 

[color=plum]‘They say the waters of Route 16 are haunted, it’s too dangerous to cross for most Pokémon Trainers. Yet, Mr. Stalford bravely offers a ferry for those willing to protect the ship as they cross. Guess any business is viable as long as trainers pay enough, hah. I’d recommend taking the long way by Freecape Town for a safer way across.’[/color] 

[color=palegreen]‘The so affectionately called Old Tombs lie in the far reaches of Route 7. They’re an archeologist’s dream. Still, there seems like there was a ghost uprising there, recently? Eh, no concern of mine. Oooh, do you want to go to the Mythic Oasis, which’s located somewhere in the sandstorm? Go to the Bug Garden and hire a Vivillon, then! Those bugs can find the water of the oasis even through the sandstorm!’[/color] 

[color=burlywood]‘So, recently there’s been a spree of Ancient Pokémon being kidnapped. The miners blame the scientists, and the scientists blame the miners. Yet, just today, both sides joined forces to try to see if they could find a responsible third party. It was like an emissary of peace made its voice heard from afar and everyone just sat aside their differences… Is there truly a Pokémon with that kind of power out there?’[/color] 

… And that was some information.

Right. What are they doing?

Raremine Town is a moderately large, bright town on the edge of the only desert in Isson. By some twist, the largest mineral deposits in the land is located right under the desert, making it an attractive place to build mines. From that, Raremine Town naturally sprung into being as a merchant town on the edge of habitability from where the mineral could then be delivered to the rest of Isson. The temperature is hot, sun blazing down on this land where plains slowly become desert, the atmosphere dry and unfriendly… yet, life and trees blossoms among the buildings of Raremine Town.

The ground is still the grass from the Vast Plains, with buildings on top of them. The modern houses stand tall with plenty of architectural skill put into them, tools for building and living sold inside the houses. Everywhere, one can see workers walking about, but they’re happy workers, with their families living close at hand in the town and with the finest equipment available. Oh, and of course, plenty of Pokémon that assist with the finding of ores and such! The trees, which appear to have been planted and grown all over town by the residents themselves, gives plenty of homes for local Pokémon to live.

Overall, it’s busy, with people walking and talking all over, an active town indeed.[/hider]
